As alignment and realignment continues towards the November governorship election in Ondo state, the deputy governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party, (SDP) in state, Mrs Susan Gbemisola Alabi has resigned from the party.

In her resignation letter dated Wednesday, October 2nd, 2004 to the National Chairman of the SDP, Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam, Alabi said that she has informed the Governorship candidate of the party,  Bamidele Akingboye of her decision.

In another letter to the SDP  candidate, Akingboye, also dated Wednesday October 2nd, 2024, she stated, “In furtherance to the discussion you had with me and the advise you gave me on the morning of Friday 20th September, 2024, I hereby formally resign as the Social Democratic Party Deputy Governorship Candidate for Ondo State in the 2024 governorship election.

“The resignation takes immediate effect.

“I want to express my gratitude for the opportunity to run alongside with you. Your leadership has been inspiring and I have learnt a lot on this journey.

“As I step away, I wish you the very best in your future endeavours. I am confident that you will continue to make a significant impact on our great state.

“After careful consideration and consultations, I have decided to send in my resignation letter. I’d rather do that than go the route you advised saying I’m too sick to continue as your Deputy.

“For the record, please note that I’m not sick and can perform optimally. However, for the sake of your ambition and you concluding to replace me with someone else from the Central of Ondo State, as you believe it will better your chances of winning, I hereby formally resign my position with you as your Deputy.”
